Not every surf movie is about great
surfing manoeuvres or monster waves, there is a type of movie - let´s call them
meta surfing movies - that care about every other aspect that concerns the
sport, be it the training, the daily life of the surfers, or, in the case of
today´s movie, the sustainability of it.

The "3 weeks,
3 boards, 3 friends" project (abbreviated to 3fwb), made three surfers
come together in order to "document the lifestyle, the adventure and the
passion of travelling" in three different sports: snowboarding, skating
and surfing. Matze Reif, Benno Postert and Maximilian Meisberger took a three
week trip, documenting their experiences on concrete, snow and water and
presenting their discoveries and experiences on a weekly web episode.

The fifth web
episode of the first season, called "Sustainability in Boardsports"
is particularly interesting to the world of surfing. It consists on an
interview with Tony Butt, author of the book "Guide to sustainable surfing" and discusses the ecological footprint surfers leave and
suggestions for more sustainability in the world of boardsports. An interesting
view.
